rirst const ruction work for
the 1955 Canoe Fete will begin
April 28 with the netting up of
3000 bleachers to seat part of
the thousand* of people ex
pected to attend the event.
Jerry Maxwell, property t*et-up
chairman, announced Thursday
that men's living organizations
will be contacted next week to
Nolicll help for the building proj
ect.
“Tht* Canoe Fete involves a
tremendous amount of work and
we'll need help from every man
on campus to build the huge
stage and the bleachers," Max
well stressed.
The plan for setting up the
bleachers, lighting, platform, and
stage calls for each men’s liv
ing organization to send their
freshman class to the work area
for a four-hour shift. Definite
time and date will be arranged
by the house at their own con
venience. A chairman from each
organization will be appointed
and will be oriented in the work
ing procedures. He will then act
as supervisor of his working
group.
Help Needed
"We hope the fellows will be
anxious to cooperate in this
plan," Maxwell said. "We also
can use some extra help on the
set-up committee.” Anyone In
terred should contact Maxwell,
Jack -Marsh, or Don Smith, as
sistant chairmen.
"This Canoe Fete isn't just a
substitute for the afternoon float
parade usually held during Junior
Weekend.” Bob Schooling, gen
eral chairman emphasized at
Wednesday's meeting. "This is
one of the largest projects the
students of the University have
ever undertaken.”

done on this year's Canoe Fete
In expectation at continuing the
once famous tradition for many
years to come. Living organiza
